Patent number: 10101776Abstract: A hinge structure connected between a first body and a second body of an electronic device is provided. The first and the second bodies rotate by the hinge structure to be opened or closed relatively. The hinge structure includes a rotating shaft pivoted to the first body, a moving member sleeving on the rotating shaft and adapted to be moved axially about and rotated along with the rotating shaft, and a damping member disposed on the moving member. The moving member has a rail coupled with a guiding member of the first body. The second body rotates relative to the first body via the rotating shaft, and the guiding member moves along the rail to move the moving member along the rotating shaft axially, such that the moving member drives the damping member to be interfered with or released from the first body.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Yi-Ta Huang, Chien-Yun Hsu, Wen-Chieh Chen

Patent number: 9933815Abstract: An electronic device includes a display module, a movable member, a base, and a biasing element. The display module has a housing and a guiding member fixed thereto. The guiding member has an angled surface, and the housing has an opening. The movable member is disposed in the display module and has a through hole. The biasing element is disposed in the through hole and adjacent to the angled surface. The base has a main body and a connecting member, wherein the connecting member is connected to the main body and detachably connected to the display module. When the connecting member is inserted into the display module through the opening along a first direction, the connecting member pushes the movable member to move along a second direction with respect to the housing, and the movable member forces the biasing element to contact the connecting member.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: ACER INCORPORATEDInventors: Yu-Chin Huang, Chien-Yun Hsu, Po-Yi Lee, Yu-Nan Lin, Huei-Ting Chuang

Patent number: 9651993Abstract: A docking device used for attaching a portable electronic device thereon including a base, a lever, a button, and a locking member is provided. The lever pivoting in the base has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The button and the locking member are movably disposed in the base respectively such that the button and the locking member are extruded out or hidden in the base respectively, wherein the button is located on a moving path of the first end, and the locking member is located on a moving path of the second end. When the portable electronic device is assembled to the docking device, the portable electronic device presses the button into the base to drive the first end, such that the second end drives the locking member out of the base to lock with the portable electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Yu-Chin Huang Huang, Chih-Chun Liu, Chien-Yun Hsu

Patent number: 9536683Abstract: A touch module is provided, including a hollow frame, a positioning member, and a touch unit. The positioning member includes a main body, an extending portion, and a U-shape structure. The extending portion is connected to the main body and fixed to the frame. The U-shape structure includes a contact portion and a pair of flexible arms. The flexible arms are connected to the main body, wherein the U-shape structure and the main body form a gap therebetween. The contact portion and the extending portion are disposed on opposite sides of the main body, wherein the contact portion is disposed between the two flexible arms. The touch unit is connected to the main body and forms a protrusion, wherein when a force is applied to the touch unit, the protrusion contacts the contact portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: ACER INCORPORATEDInventors: Hsin-Tsung Ho, Han-Tsung Shen, Chung-Jen Ho, Chih-Chun Liu, Chien-Yun Hsu, Yi-Mu Chang
